Choose Rise

Your books. Your own pace.

A native personal library, local English EPUB narration, and a one-time unlock across your Apple devices.

Choose ElevenReader

A different reading workflow.

Choose ElevenReader if you want a large selection of AI narrators, multiple languages, and a listening service that also offers a book and audiobook catalog.

The purchase model matters.

For a personal library you return to throughout the year, a one-time unlock keeps the ongoing cost predictable. Rise is made for readers who want to import their own books, read comfortably, and listen to EPUB passages using an installed voice.

ElevenReader offers a different set of reading and listening tools. Its paid plans may include capabilities beyond Rise’s feature set, and a free tier or an eligible offer may be enough for your needs. Price is one part of choosing the right app.
